Chapter 25: Divination
25
January 7, 2016, morning, eight o'clock.
The time is actually very early, and many people are still on their way to work, but Li Qingniu has already stepped on the brisk steps to the International Building.
As soon as he walked into the International Building, one after another respectful or cordial greetings suddenly came: "Mr. Li, morning." β
"You're early, too." Li Qingniu responded politely with a warm smile.
When he walked in, someone whispered, "He's so easygoing." β
"yes, not at all like the other platinum soothsayers, who are obnoxious, always look arrogant, alasβI really like to die." A girl chimed in.
"If you like it, chase it!" Another quipped.
"Chasing? Chase you big-headed ghost! People are platinum soothsayers, where do I have the qualifications to chase! The girl rolled her eyes.
The voice of these discussions was actually very low, but Li Qingniu still heard it, of course, he didn't say anything, just smiled lightly.
He didn't go to the third floor to greet another fortune teller, and although his life had changed drastically, on the whole, he was still used to being alone, so he went straight to the nineteenth floor.
The 19th floor is an exclusive area for soothsayers to read and study.
The information here is very complete, and there are many functional areas, many soothsayers like to come here to learn and communicate, but today there are very few people, Li Qingniu looked at it, the four sides are empty, and there is no one.
The reason why he came here was to find another method of divination for himself.
He only knows tarot divination now, which is of course useful, but any method of divination has its own advantages and disadvantages, and tarot cards are no exception, so he needs another method of divination to help.
However, he doesn't have an idea of which divination method to choose, he is not from a professional background, so he still knows a little about divination, not to mention anything else, what are the methods of divination, what are the characteristics, he doesn't know much, so he wants to come here today to take a closer look.
From ancient times to the present, at home and abroad, there are countless divination methods, the common ones are turtle shell divination, yarrow divination, copper coin divination, tarot cards, astrological divination, these are more famous, in addition, there are many niche divination methods, such as some ethnic minorities have what pig liver divination, rooster divination and so on.
Li Qingniu can only use tarot cards for divination now, and he doesn't have a deep grasp of tarot cards, such as many card arrays, he doesn't know too much, such as small Alka, he doesn't master it very much.
Therefore, in every aspect, he urgently needed to master another method of divination.
"Let's get to know one by one." Li Qingniu walked into the room dedicated to the introduction of divination and thought secretly.
The first display case is about turtle shell divination.
The so-called turtle shell divination is actually to find a piece of turtle shell, and then put the turtle shell on the fire to burn, after burning to a certain extent, the turtle shell will break, when it breaks, many cracks will form on the turtle shell, and the soothsayer can judge the future trend according to the shape of these cracks.
This method of divination can be regarded as the oldest method of divination, and it is said to be very accurate, because according to legend, the turtle is a very spiritual animal, they can communicate with fate, and the older the turtle, the better the divination effect of the turtle shell.
However, because the formation of this method of divination is so long, there is very little knowledge about the specific method and interpretation of divination.
There are some soothsayers who use this method of divination, but in general, it is now a niche divination.
Not to mention anything else, where to find so many turtle shells these days?
"I'm not going to choose this method of divination."
After reading the introduction, Li Qingniu couldn't help but smile secretly.
Every time you do divination, you have to take a turtle shell out and burn it, not to mention that it doesn't work, and it is very inconvenient to operate. Besides, this method is a bit too old-fashioned.
"Look at yarrow divination."
He walked into the display case dedicated to yarrow divination.
Yarrow, in fact, is a kind of grass, divination is actually the stem of yarrow, the stem is broken, made into a short stick more than ten centimeters long, and then use these short sticks for divination.
Divination with yarrow is very time-consuming, and each divination takes at least two or three hours, so it is rarely used by soothsayers.
However, because this kind of divination is relatively accurate, many soothsayers will choose this method of divination whenever they encounter a heavy dΓ event.
Therefore, yarrow divination is something that every soothsayer must master.
But because this kind of divination requires a lot of theory and ability from the diviner, Li Qingniu doesn't plan to learn it now.
"When I reach the five-star soothsayer, I'll come back to learn yarrow divination."
The next showcase is about copper coin divination.
Li Qingniu was about to go to see the copper coin divination, but he didn't want to look at it when he suddenly saw the words "astrology" written on the door of a room opposite.
"Astrology?" He froze, then walked over there.
Yarrow divination, turtle shell divination, these methods of divination are only introduced in a display case, but astrology is introduced in a special room.
"Go in and have a look."
Li Qingniu pushed the door in.
Surprisingly, though, there was no introduction to astrology in the room.
The setting of the room is very peculiar, the surrounding walls, ceilings, and floors seem to be starry sky, so when Li Qingniu walks in, it seems that he is in the universe, front and back, left and right, up and down, and all he sees is the starry sky.
"Huh?" Li Qingniu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile: "The setting of this room is very interesting, is it to familiarize us with the twelve constellations?" β
Thinking like this, he hurriedly raised his head and searched for the twelve constellations in the starry sky.
"The piece above my head seems to be a Scorpio, right?"
But before he could take a closer look, the starry sky in all directions suddenly flashed rapidly, and after an instant, Li Qingniu only felt that the sky was spinning, and the starry sky image in front of him suddenly flashed in his sight.
"Huh? What's going on? Li Qingniu's body shook and almost fell.
The drastic transformation of the starry sky made him extremely dizzy, and his consciousness became a little trance, and he almost couldn't help but vomit, but fortunately, the time of this great change was very short, and it only lasted for more than thirty seconds before stopping.
"Huh? How did the starry sky completely change? β
After Li Qingniu stood firm and raised his head again to observe the image displayed on the wall, he was suddenly stunned.
Although the starry sky is still presented, the stars that come into view at this moment are completely different from the previous ones.
When he first came in, Li Qingniu could still find the twelve constellations as quickly as possible, but when he looked at it again at this moment, there were no constellations in the starry sky.
"Huh? How so? What about those zodiac signs? β
